"Uncle Troy, where's my baby brother?" Gillian whined impatiently, eager to see her sibling. Her pouty face looked adorable, and she pouted even more when she saw me chuckling."Nurse, can the baby be brought here?" I asked the nurse as soon as we arrived in the VVIP room.Sarah just smiled and shook her head at Gillian's impatience."Yes, Sir. Ms. Johnsons baby will be brought here soon to be breastfed.""W-what? B-breastfed? Oh y-yeah, nurse," I stammered nervously.Oh my gosh, why did my mind wander off after hearing that?Not long after, a nurse came in with a baby trolley. Gillian jumped for joy and immediately ran to her brother. Her face lit up with happiness, her big round eyes sparkling."My brother is handsome. He looks like Papa Albert, Mommy..." Gillian exclaimed, overwhelmed with excitement.The nurse gently took the baby and handed him to me."Here's the baby. Please have your wife breastfeed him."I took the baby and was stunned after the nurse left the room.
Troy’s P.O.V"Ms. Johnson can go home this afternoon. Please take care of the paperwork at the front desk." "Alright, thank you, doctor!" I replied with a nod. Afterward, I asked my secretary to handle everything. Elena, my new secretary, had also prepared all the baby supplies at Sarah's house. Yesterday, Gillian and I, without Sarah's knowledge, designed a room in the house as a nursery. The room was right next to Gillian's room, which connected to the master bedroom. "Everything's ready, Mr. Peterson," Elena reported through a message on my phone. I helped Sarah pack up. "Troy, I'm sorry! I've been such a burden. You must have missed important meetings at the office." Sarah had changed out of her hospital gown and into her own clothes. "Burden? I did it willingly," I had already closed and locked Sarah's small suitcase. Sarah smiled. I helped her off the bed and onto the sofa. We were waiting for Prince to be brought to the room. "Oh by the way, Elena. Send all the a
Sarah’s P.O.V"Good afternoon, ma'am. Here's a parcel from Mr. Peterson."A beautiful woman introduced herself as Troy's secretary, showing up early with a basket of fruit."Thank you, Elena. Why didn't you send the driver? You must have left your work at the office.""It's okay, ma'am. This was Mr. Peterson's order!" she replied with a smile as she placed the parcel on the living room table."Alright then, I'll head back to the office." Elena said goodbye with a polite nod. Then the tall, elegant woman turned and walked towards the yard."Thank you, Elena." I escorted Troy's secretary to the porch. The office car and driver were waiting for her in the yard. But suddenly, my eyes caught sight of a slightly scary-looking man trying to come in. But two security guards at the gate stopped him.One of the security guards finally approached me."Ma'am, that man wants to see you. His name is Derrick.""W-what? Derrick?" My heart was suddenly beating fast.Wasn't Derrick in prison?
"Troy!" I suddenly stood up.I felt relieved seeing Troy suddenly appear near the gate and walk towards me.Wait, what had he just said? Future wife?"Are you okay, honey?" Troy was suddenly right in front of me, cupping my face with his hands.I was really surprised and unprepared for his actions. Ah, maybe Troy was just pretending in front of Derrick. So that he would think Troy and I had a special relationship. Ah, Troy always had his tricks. But his actions successfully made my heart race."Yeah, Troy. I'm fine."Derrick didn't seem happy. He turned away in annoyance."Sarah, where's Gillian? She's my daughter too. I have the right to see her," he snapped without looking at me."What do you want with Gillian? Kidnap her again?" Troy stood with his hands on his hips, not far from Derrick. Troy's tall, sturdy frame made Derrick look smaller and shorter."Don't accuse me and stay out of it! This is a family matter!" Derrick started to get angry, his eyes glaring at Troy.Tro
"Welcome back, Ms. Johnson!" "Good morning, Ms. Johnson!" I nodded and smiled. Almost all the employees greeted me. Starting today, I returned to my company, Johnson Corp. Meanwhile, I entrusted Albert's business and company to Troy. Prince was now two months old. I had a freezer stash of breastmilk for when I was not at home. As Troy had said, his little champion should not be deprived of breast milk. Troy regularly visited us. In a week, he would come three times. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, he spent the whole day playing with Gillian and Prince. "Good morning, Ms. Johnson. Let me take you to your new office!" Calvin approached me as soon as I arrived on the ground floor of the office. I nodded, then walked alongside Calvin. This tall young man had been assisting Albert for years. Albert's personal assistant was very reliable. Since Albert fell ill and I became pregnant until today, Calvin has managed the company under my supervision. "Please come in, Ms
"To the mall? It's unusual for you to be here, Troy."Troy's car stopped in front of a mall near my office. Troy, whose face was well-known to the public, rarely visited crowded places like this."I want to buy something. Later, you can help me choose," he said after opening the car door.We entered the mall, which was quite busy with visitors, probably because it was lunchtime.As we walked, Troy became the center of attention for the women around us. Yes, who wouldn't recognize the handsome man walking with me? Troy, who used to be active in showbiz, had a face familiar to the women in this mall. I used to idolize Troy Peterson myself.My feet kept pace with the steps of this tall, handsome man until we stopped in front of a well-known jewelry store."Are you going to buy jewelry, Troy?"He nodded indifferently."Wow, looks like someone's in love. This jewelry must be for your girlfriend," I guessed. But why did I feel a tightness in my chest? Why did I feel reluctant with my
"Troy, from now on, you need to keep your distance from my children," I said casually as we enjoyed our lunch.Clang!I was startled when Troy suddenly stopped eating, dropping his knife and fork."Troy, I mean…"Troy looked at me sharply, his gaze piercing right through me. Was he angry? Was this not for the best? Didn’t he already have a girlfriend?I heard a sharp breath from the handsome man in front of me."Troy, are you mad?" I asked cautiously."What do you think?" Troy turned his gaze away from me. Why did he look so annoyed? Did I say something wrong?"I'm... I'm sorry if I made you angry. But isn't this for the best? I'm worried there might be a misunderstanding with your fiancee," I explained slowly.I hoped Troy would understand."What? Fiancee?" he asked.I nodded."You bought the jewelry earlier for your fiancee, right? Your fiancee would surely be upset if she knew you were close to the children of a widow."I exhaled roughly."Being a widow is always compl
Troy’s P.O.V “Stop covering up, I've already seen it.” I continued to tease Sarah. She kept holding the front of my oversized jacket on her body. Conveniently, the jacket didn’t have front buttons.“Shut up, Troy!” she snapped, looking out the window.This beautiful woman who had turned my world upside down didn’t seem to understand the attention I had been giving her all this time.Even if Albert hadn’t asked me to take care of her and her two kids, I would still do it willingly.The traffic was terrible. Sarah was busy fiddling with her phone.“Prince is getting bigger. I want to take Gillian and Prince to my villa in the mountains. It’s not far. Would you like to come?”“Won’t your fiancee be mad?” she asked without looking at me, still focused on scrolling through social media on her phone.Good heavens. She was still talking about my fiancee. Was it possible she was jealous?“No. I already told you that my fiancee is kind, understanding, and patient,” I said, glancing at
